Since the resumption of labor in February, the number of new coronary pneumonia infections in the world has gradually increased from 100,000 to 200,000, and it has been growing faster and faster, until it is now close to 9 million. There is no sign of stopping.

Under the impact of such an unprecedented epidemic situation, the production and operation of textile people have been greatly affected. The orders cannot be received, the cloth prices continue to fall, and the inventory continues to rise. When the entire textile industry was in a downturn, the concept of hype made some people seem to see the life-saving straw and put out valuable working capital to invest in it. Most people only harvested chicken feathers.

Masks changed from "hard currency" to "slack sales"

At the beginning of the year, affected by the sudden outbreak of new pneumonia and insufficient domestic mask production capacity, the mask industry has become a new outlet. Anything with the word "mask" will become sweet and sour. There are even rumors that the masks can still be paid for in the store, which can be said to be "hard currency".

Manager Wang is the person in charge of a fabric company. He smelled business opportunities as early as February. He invested 500,000 yuan to register a medical equipment manufacturing company and began to produce KN95 medical masks, which were hard to find during the epidemic.

According to the current production capacity, this factory can produce nearly 10,000 masks per day. However, due to the sudden drop in demand, by the end of May, the small factory temporarily transformed by Manager Wang had overstocked more than 1 million KN95 mask stocks.

Even so, they did not dare to stop production-it means that the factory closed. A large number of workers in the original fabric factory have survived the difficulty by relying on the mask market, and when the fabric orders are equally bleak, what should these workers do once the mask production stops?

Because the threshold for mask production is not high, but the profits are rich, and the demand for conventional grey fabrics has suddenly dropped due to the epidemic situation, there are not many textile people who choose to convert masks. From February to March, the profit of masks is indeed very good; but since April, because the prices of raw material meltblown cloths have skyrocketed, companies can almost only protect the capital; after May, the supply of masks on the market began to exceed supply, and the book may be Earned, but the products produced can't be sold...

Taffeta's big single-element bill retreats, prices are lower than before

In addition to masks, affected by the epidemic, protective clothing has become a rigid need in the market.

Due to insufficient production of non-woven fabrics, and the price being hyped higher and higher, cheap Chunya spinning and polyester taffles have entered everyone's vision.

Because of the epidemic situation, weaving companies lacked orders and had been operating at low operating rates for a long time. Polyester manufacturers’ high polyester yarn inventories, coupled with the historical decline in crude oil prices, caused polyester yarn prices to plummet.

The cloth cannot be sold and the raw material prices are so low. In mid-April, the price of 210T polyester taffeta was only 0.8-0.9 yuan/m. However, under the hype of the concept of protective clothing, a large order of 130 million meters appeared on the market. Many textile companies said that they took advantage of this wave of market to clear the inventory of 210T polyester taffeta, and many more companies converted the machine to 210T. For polyester taffeta, the price of this product has also risen to 1.2-1.3 yuan/m. Because the production threshold is low and the heat comes together, a large number of weaving manufacturers have switched to production.

However, the good times are not long. Just over a week later, the heat of the polyester taffeta fell rapidly, and the price also fell even lower than the original, only 0.7-0.8 yuan/meter. When I was interviewing a weaving company recently, a weaving company said that there are not many products to sell recently, but the ones that are difficult to sell must be 190T and 210T polyester taffeta.

In addition, a trader also said that unlike non-woven fabrics, the protective clothing made by Chunya Textile and Poly Tuff cannot be naturally degraded, so it is basically impossible to export to European and American countries. Many of these protective clothing are directly stuck in customs Can't move.

Water jet loom awakened in high profits, only excess capacity

The emergence of a tuyere and a crowd of people swarming is not an example. The transfer of water-jet looms in 2018 is a good example and has a profound impact.

In the first half of 2018, the number of water jet looms in Jiangsu and Zhejiang dropped sharply due to the renovation of water jet looms that began in the previous two years, resulting in a shortage of conventional products. The profits of conventional "rotten cloths" such as Chunya Textile and Poly Taff even exceeded four sides. Functional fabrics such as bomb and T400.

Such high profits give textile people the illusion that conventional grey fabrics will continue to be hot. By the summer of 2018, a large number of water-jet looms have been put into production in peripheral areas such as northern Jiangsu, Anhui, and Hubei. By the end of 2018, this part of production capacity After entering the market one after another, the entire market is difficult to suppress the situation of overcapacity.

It is precisely this kind of overcapacity that has led to the "cold winter" in 2019, and has also reduced the ability of textile companies to resist risks when facing an epidemic this year.
